Wimbledon, Day 4, 2 July, Order of Play

[nehmeth]

Disgusting first game from Brown...in a good way.

Unlike Bellucci, Brown will not give Nadal any kind of rhythm. Brown playing some sick tennis out there... in a good way.

Ralf breaks.

Disgusting break.......in a good way

Thought I'd check in on this before lunch. I see Nadal has the early break. Interesting. Maybe DB does need to cutback those dreads as Kirijax suggested. They have to be getting in his way. :dodgy:

 

[Carol]

Seppi and Coric killing theirselves

 

[nehmeth]

Nudey Berd is about to go up two sets on Mahut.

It's like a Medusa thing going on back there. Has to weigh at least a couple of pounds.

 

[Carol]

Maybe it's my imagination and I hope to be wrong but I see Rafa looking and touching his left knee more than once :huh: :cover

 

[Carol]

What was that bad shot Rafa??????

Maybe the island boy is learning a thing or two from Murray.

 

[Carol]

Vamos Rafa, serve and play well!!!!
His FH is improving....sometimes

 

[Federberg]

It'll be interesting to see if Brown can maintain this level

 

[Carol]

Brown is trying hard volleying......

 

[Carol]

Monfils advancing quickly

 

[GameSetAndMath]

OH Boy , Brown is toying with Rafa. He probably hit about 30 winners in set 1 alone.
Coming in to the net nicely and finishing up, drop shots, killer returns, :clap

But, need to keep the focus

 

[brokenshoelace]

Nadal overthinking on the first serve. Just go to the backhand. Anyway, this doesn't look good and whoever predicted a straight set victory for Nadal is drinking the good stuff.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Mac thinks this is the greatest one set performance in Wimbledon history. Someone shoot me.

 

[GameSetAndMath]

Maybe it's my imagination and I hope to be wrong but I see Rafa looking and touching his left knee more than once :huh: :cover

He will touch a lot more after one more hour. :snicker

 

[brokenshoelace]

God, these two points tell the story. Should have been 0-30. Nadal misses two sitters. He's rattled.
